Title: The Coupling of Two Pairs
Part: Chapter 2
Hi! This is the second chapter of “The Coupling of Two Pairs” as you already probably know.
In this chapter you will meet two of the Slayers cast and only two of them will probably be in the
story. If you watch Slayers and you know what Lina’s and Gourry’s character are like, it will be
hard for me to do Lina’s character the right way, so she might be a little different, k? Well, no
more talk, read on! ?
Lina Inverse and Gourry Gabriev were walking along the path as all of a sudden their
faces were on the ground and something had dropped on them.
“Thanks a lot, Mother!” Lina heard a girl whisper.
“Um…DO YOU BOTH MIND GETTING OFF OF US?!!!!” asked a very angry Lina.
“Oh, I’m so sorry!” said the girl.
“Meatball Head, why don’t you just get off of her instead of apologizing on her” asked a
guy.
“Shut up Tuxedo Mask!” replied the girl, after she got up. “We’re, well, I’m really
sorry!”
“Oh, that’s really no problem.” Lina answered while dusting herself off. “FIREBALL!”
and she threw a fireball at the newcomers. Tuxedo Mask picked up Sailor Moon and jumped up
onto the nearest tree. “Huh? No one ever has avoided my fireballs before! I’ll get you for that!”
“Wait! I’m not here to make trouble. We’re from the future and came back here to help
someone. That’s it!” exclaimed Sailor Moon.
“I don’t care! Does it look like I care?! All I care of is that you both get toasted for
landing on me and being the first ones to dodge my fireballs!” replied Lina. “Darkness beyond
twilight…”
“No Lina, don’t do the Dragon Slave on them!” yelled Gourry as he grabbed a hold of her.
“Let me go, Gourry, let me toast them!” Gourry kept holding onto her until she calmed
down a little. The two finally came down and Lina and Gourry finally had a good look at them,
but she wasn’t really looking at the girl, the guy was the one who caught her eye. *He is soo hot!
Oh my gosh, I wished he was mine!* Gourry on the other was drooling over ‘Meatball Head’ and
looking at her legs. *Gosh, I bet she’s younger than Lina and look at her!* “So, who are you
supposed to help?” asked Lina.
“Well, my mother sent me on a mission to help this sorceress named Lina Inverse,” replied
who they knew of as Meatball Head.
“Lina Inverse?! Why would I need help?”
“I don’t know! That’s all my mother said, that I have to help someone named Lina
Inverse and her companion Gourry Gabriev.”
“OK, just who are you both?”
“Well, I’m the super hero Sailor Moon, but you can call me Serena.”
“I’m her guardian Tuxedo Mask, also known as Darien.”
“Really. Well, you both can go home now cause I don’t need any help from super
heroes!”
“Well, I’m not leaving because this mission is important to me and if I don’t find my
princess…ugh, you couldn’t understand anyway!” then Tuxedo Mask stormed away.
*He’s looking for his princess? Could I be the one he’s talking about since I’m the moon
princess. It could be since I’m looking for my prince. Hm, I’ll investigate more and see.*
“Shouldn’t you go after him?” asked Gourry.
“I guess I should even though he is a pain in the butt. But you two have to go with me!”
replied Serena.
“Fine, we will,” answered Gourry.
“We will?” asked Lina.
“Look, you like the guy and I like the girl, so let’s just go!” said Gourry.
“Fine, we’ll go.”
“Just wait a sec. I have to transform back,” exclaimed Serena. In an instant Serena
changed from her costume to her century’s street clothes which was a blue slim mini-skirt and a
pink short sleeved shirt. “OK, lets go find the dimwit Darien.” So they went on into the woods
to find Darien. After a few minutes they saw Darien sitting against a tree. “Come on Darien.
Just get up and you can start looking for your princess.”
“Just leave me alone, OK?” answered Darien. Then he started storming away again.
Since he was still in his Tuxedo Mask outfit, as he was walking he transformed back. He was
wearing blue jeans and a light blue shirt.
“Fine, Darien, leave. But I might know who your princess is!” yelled Serena.
Darien stopped and turned around with a suspicious look on his face.
“Yeah right, Meatball Head. You wouldn’t know who she is in a million years!” he
replied.
“For that, I won’t tell you who she is. In fact, I know five princesses”
“OK, fine, I’ll travel with you, but that’s only because the queen told me to.”
“Um…you guys, what are you going to do now?” asked Gourry.
“I don’t know, you both are the experts here,” answered Darien.
“Can we go anywhere that has food?! I’m starving!” asked Serena.
“Definitely!” exclaimed Lina and Gourry. So, Serena, Lina, Gourry, and Darien, with a
sweat-mark on his forehead, walked to the nearest town and pigged out, except for Darien who
still had the sweat-mark on his head as he was watching all three of them eat.
********************************Later in the day*********************************
Lina was walking with Serena while Darien was walking with Gourry.
“Hey, you don’t have feelings for Gourry, do you?” asked Serena.
“Feelings?! For Gourry?! You’ve got to be kidding, right? Gourry and I do not mix! I
mean, he is pretty good at playing sword fights, but other than that, he’s…him! I get it, you want
me to fireball you, don’t you? ” replied Lina.
“No way! Just wondering, that’s all!”
“Since we’re on this subject of matchmaking, what about you and Darien?”
“Me and Darien?! Darien and I can’t stand each other! I mean, he keeps calling me
Meatball Head and he’s totally conceited, mean, and annoying!”
“Meatball Head, eh?” Lina raised an eyebrow, “A pet name? I think that’s pretty cute!
Darien already has shown his affection for you, Serena, by calling you Meatball Head! Isn’t that
sweet?”
“Shut up, Lina”
“AHHHHHHH! MONSTER! HELP!” yelled a girl.
“We’ve gotta help them! You both stay here while I go!” said Serena.
“No way! We’re not some helpless people, you know!” yelled Lina.
“Next time, you can fight, OK?! Moon Prism Power!”
“Hey, you’re not the only one on the team, you know?!” yelled Darien as he transformed.
Gourry was totally looking at Serena’s body. Then Sailor Moon appeared in an instant.
“Come on Tuxedo Mask. Wouldn’t want to leave without you,” said Sailor Moon in a
very sarcastic voice.
“See if I ever save you again!” he mumbled back.
“As if I’d ever need your help!”
“Right! Like being stuck in a huge golf ball isn’t really bad!”
“Um…hello? There are people who need to be saved, you know?” said Lina.
“Oh yeah, let’s go!” When they arrived at the battlefield, they saw this really big monster
that had a red side with flaming red hair and the other side was purple with no hair at all. All in
all, it was really freaky. “Oh my gosh! Can there be anything uglier than that?”
“Sailor Moon, just use your wand, hurry!”
“Right! Moon Scepter Elim…! AHHH!” The monster had just blown her at least 10 feet
away. She staggered to get up.
“Now you, who tried to destroy me shall die!” yelled the monster. Then it stuck it’s
pointing fingers into the ground and two tentacles rose from above the ground behind her.
Tuxedo Mask saw the tentacles and saw that it was about to strike Sailor Moon, so he ran as fast
as his tall legs would let him and managed to knock her out of the way. But, unfortunately, he
wasn’t able to get out of the way. One of the deadly tentacles went through one the most
important parts of his body, the heart. Sailor Moon saw this and screamed, “NOOOOOOOO!!”
and ran to him. Another tentacle was about to strike her also, but a shout was heard not far away.
“Dragon Slave!” and all she saw was a red beam. She didn’t know who it was directed at,
all she knew was the person she loved was dying. Yes, love. She finally admitted to herself. *I
don’t care if I never find the prince, all I want is for Darien to live again and call me Meatball
Head.* Then she started to sob hysterically, tears dropping one by one. When one was about to
fall, it stopped and glistened. Lina and Gourry watched in amazement. It started to form into a
small ball and colors of blue, red, green, orange, sea green, navy blue, dark red, purple, and
yellow went into the tear and it glowed a bright color. Sailor Moon reached out for it and when
she grabbed it, she changed clothes into her princess dress while Tuxedo Mask changed into his
prince clothes.
“Princess, I have finally found you,” he whispered.
“No, Endymoin, don’t speak, for you are weak. Let me heal you.”
“No, don’t. That will only hurt you. I cannot bear to see you hurt, especially because of
me.”
“I will not let you. Don’t worry, I will be fine. Besides, you are too weak to stop me.
Moon Healing Activation!” And a white light engulfed them.
Well, what do you think. If you think this is close to the ending of the story, you are totally
wrong. There’s still a big villain. I can’t end the story without letting you see who sent that
monster, now can I? Nope, not my style. Well, stay tune for chapter 3!
